Wicked Wednesday: Fifty Shades of Grey Spoof

This week's Wicked Wednesday is just something I found incredibly amusing. As you all know by now, I have been reading Fifty Shades of Grey (I'm trying to finish it, but as much as I want to know what happens and be done with it, I can't read very much at once without it making me homicidal) and finding it to be pretty torturous. And not in that fun way. So you can imagine my amusement when I stumbled across this on Better Book Titles:

Also, considering that it began as Twilight FanFic, I'll throw this one in as a bonus:

Ten on Tuesday

1. Worst. Headache. EVER.

2. I also may have carpal tunnel (sp?) because my wrist and thumb have been aching for days. Apparently typing makes it worse, so I hope you guys appreciate it.

3. Chapters has a 4 for 3 book and magazine sale goin' on, so if you're in Canada and love book shopping, now's a good time.

4. I spent a good chunk of time on the weekend cleaning the house - I even mopped the kitchen floor. I now remember why I don't do that.

5. Lin from Linny's Vault sent me this awesome bag for my birthday, along with this substitute for birthday cake. Totally made my week!

 I do. I really do.

 *Nom nom nom*

6. We've reverted from hot, sunny shorts weather on the weekend to rain boots and umbrellas. It's like we're back in February, and I'm not impressed. Quit messing with me! Pick a season and stick with it, already!

7. Nothing in the world beats drinking a Corona with a wedge of lime in the sunshine. Nothing.

8. I've really been digging working on my book blog, Backlist Books, lately. I even set up a twitter account for it (@backlist_books) and everything! It's always hard to tell if these spurts of excitement and motivation will last, but for now I'm rolling with it. Very excited to be reading again and looking forward to my stack of summer reading!

9. While setting up my Backlist Books Twitter account, I started following a bunch of book-related tweeters. One of them referred to a blog post about something called "hate-reading." I realized this is exactly what is keeping me going with Fifty Shades of Grey. I actually enjoy the satisfaction of it being even worse than I expected. Perversely, though it gets worse and worse, I do want to know what happens. What's the term for that?

10. Funny:

 This is pretty  much how my week is going so far.

 Oh, god, yes.

 Yes.

 If I ever had kids...

That's it for another week! Have a Corona for me. *cheers*

Ten on Tuesday

1. I survived the birthday. And actually managed to have some fun!

2. I got a free Starbucks drink on my birthday, but in typical scatterbrain fashion, I put it down on the counter in another store and forgot it there. Without taking a single sip. On the plus side, Chris, one of my co-workers, bought me a birthday peppermint mocha this morning - so that totally made up for it! Delicious.

3. Went to see Dark Shadows. Meh. It's Tim Burton, so the imagery was predictably appealing, and there were some absolutely hilarious moments... but overall I feel like it's a wait for the DVD film.

4. Despite the extra day off (maybe because of it?) I have been tired and cranky all day today.

5. I got this from J. for my birthday, and am very excited, seeing as The Bloggess is one of my favourite all-time funny destinations on the web:

6. Speaking of summer reading, I finally started 50 Shades of Grey this weekend. So far my main reaction is wanting to slap someone every time Ana blushes or Christian's eyes are clouded and unreadable or whatever. Considering how much those two things are repeated, that's a lot of slapping. And we're not talking the fun kind.

7. One of my favourite new shows of 2011, Missing, has been cancelled. *sniff*

8. If you have never had cinnamon french toast with strawberries and whipped cream, you haven't lived.

9. I'm pleased to report that it's Corona weather! Woohoo!

10. And because I know you all rely on me to make you giggle inappropriately and/or snort various beverages out your nose:

That is all.
